The Soggy South East lives up to its name!











Yet again the Slaney has burst its banks in Enniscorthy and both quays were impassable today. The Riverside Park Hotel had to be evacuated as the Promenade disappeared under the flood waters and there was serious traffic gridlock all day. Some sensible flood relief scheme needs to be put in place urgently but not the mad plan with forty foot high walls that the OPW wish to inflict on the town. Here are are few pics to whet your appetite! Don't forget click on the pictures to enlarge.
